Kentucky Equality Federation sued the Commonwealth of the Kentucky over the ban, a legal theory conceived by Kentucky Equality Federation founder Jordan Palmer who then produced a “legal theory” and approached multiple attorneys to file it; they agreed with him. To the credit of the Commonwealth, it did indeed strike down all gay marriage bans in the Commonwealth on April 16, 2015. Attorneys for the Governor filed an emergency injunction pending an additional ruling by the Kentucky Supreme Court or the U.S. Supreme Court, whichever occurred first. On June 26, 2015 the Kentucky Court of Justice dissolved its previous stay.

Whether you participate in a march or just take time to sit down with someone and listen to their story, we believe everyone can play a role in making our communities more loving and equal.” – Kentucky Equality Federation Vice Chairman Miles Meehan for Marriage Equality Kentucky.
